春休みの旅行として利用させていただきました。
女将さんのサービス精神が強く、居心地良く過ごすことが出来ました。また、四条などの繁華街から近くアクセスが良い一方で、旅館は閑静な通りにあり京都の風情も感じることが出来ました。通りを歩く人も少なかったので、穴場スポットなのかもしれません。

カップルで旅行 2023年04月01日

繁忙期ではありましたが、内容に対して宿泊料金が高いと感じました

子供連れの家族旅行 2023年03月31日

繁華街から近く、花街の宮川町の中心部にあるので便利です。伝統的な京町家で静かな時間を過ごすことができました。館内は清潔感があり、冷暖房や冷蔵庫、電子レンジ、各アメニティも揃っていて、浴衣も準備されています。前の通りはとても風情があって、舞妓さんが歩いているのも見ることができました。女将さんもとてもご親切で、安心して観光をすることができます。料金は人数ではなくて一部屋あたりで決まってますので、グループで泊まるとお得みたいです。

My family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teenagers) stayed here for 4 nights and we loved it. The host and staff were so kind and thoughtful and very accomodating.

Pros:
* Good sized room
* Clean
* Staff are so kind and helpful
* Beds were large
* Traditional appeal. Not only is it an old tea house, geishas in training live next door
* The location is close to shopping and transportation options.
* It's on a very quiet street - no car traffic.

Cons:
* Our room was a little cluttered with extra furniture that didn't need to be there.
* As previous reviewers have said, the hallways are comically tiny, so getting your oversized luggage into the room will be a challenge or pack light. The location is near coin laundry.

Excellent Stay

Our stay at Sawai was superb Keiko the owner welcomed us with traditional matcha tea at homemade sweets it was delicious. The bed was so comfortable and the experience in a traditional Japanese Inn or Ryokan was something I was looking forward to in this trip in Kyoto. The place was easy to find and navigate. Closed to downtown but,away from hustle and bustle.

Beautiful location in an old tea house. A twin room and 3 beds on the floor - the mats on the floor were not as comfortable as others in Japan. Duvets were lovely. The owner was very nice. Bathroom is outstanding and shower pressure was great. Overall a very quaint place to stay in a lovely area.

True Edo period style hotel experience

Sawai is an authentic if no frills experience. However, you can’t beat the location, the look and feel of the place, and the wonderful staff. I will stay here again.

2025年04月07日

This is a very picturesque traditional family run hotel in a 160 year old Kyoto house. It’s quite an experience to enjoy Gion area - close to all shopping and the famous Geisha area of old Kyoto. Highly recommended.

Traditionellt hotell i Kyoto

Väldigt traditionellt och mysigt hotell i gamla delen av kyoto med mycket charm. Smala atmosfäriska gränder och nära till fantastiska restauranger och barer. Väldigt prisvärt.

Fantastic ryokan. Very affordable all things considered and the owners are incredibly friendly and helpful. The lodgings are wonderful, as they are both beautiful and comfortable. Couldn’t recommend more

Wonderful experience! The staff was super friendly and kind, we had a wonderful stay.

Superbe

Ryokan typique , les propriétaires sont très serviables. Très bien placé dans le quartier de Gion

The owner of the property was kind and seemed like a lovely woman but the other staff didn't really seem to know what was going on. The check in, while early which we absolutely appreciated, was basically us getting the keys and giving our passports. No explanation of amenities or the room itself. I noticed they offered tours of the building with sweets and tea but we didn't get any tour.

The room itself was spacious and very comfortable. The self filling tub and shower room was the highlight and we made sure to maximize our use!

We were supposed to get a VIP 4500 yen drink credit but we were told it just consisted of coffee or matcha tea at night and I'm unsure if we received that full value over two nights.

I understand that Kyoto is pricey, especially in the area of this guesthouse, but I feel like we overpayed for what we got. Overall, it was an average stay.

150 year old tea house, our lovely Kyoto home

We absolutely loved staying here and the owner and her husband were so welcoming and sweet to us. Location is great we watched ladies in kimonos walking by. We walked everywhere and the restaurants were great. It really was our lovely home in Kyoto.

Experience the past with the comfort of the future

We were looking for a slice of old Japan after a week in Tokyo. I can say that that desire was thoroughly fulfilled. Our room was like one straight out of the pass, but their were enough modern renovations to make it feel comfortable. We didn't explore the immediate area to much but with just a short train ride to access Fushimi inari I think it's a great place to stay. The staff are also very friendly and helpful. My friends bag was broken in transit by a delivery company and they handled all the talks themselves on our behalf and we ended up getting a 3000 yen compensation. It's a great hub to explore a lot of kansai and a great way to experience old Japan.

Great experience in Kyoto

This was an excellent Ryokan - down a quiet street across the river from a busy area in Kyoto. The hostess and her family made us feel welcome and provided the type of experience we were looking for in Kyoto.
The bathrooms were up to date and well stocked, the tatami and beds comfortable for all of us to sleep in.
Would highly recommend this as a traditional stay while in Kyoto!

The property and the owner Keiko was great,Keiko could not have been more helpful,if you want to experience old Japan you could not start at a better place

We loved staying at Sawai. It was a great experience staying at a traditional style inn. The bathroom is very nice, if you don't try the public bathroom you have a wonderful option back at your room. They speak fairly good English so if you are having a hard time the staff are always able to help. You must try the traditional Japanese breakfast, just ask the day before so they can prepare. I would totally book again when I head back to Kyoto in the future.

Things to note traditional Japanese style rooms tend to have smaller frames on the doors, so you will need to lower your head.

Kyoto Sawai is a 150 year old converted teahouse close to the river Sawai and easy walking distance from the rail line, central Kyoto shopping precinct and Kiyomizu Temple (albeit up a rather steep hill). The Inn was very comfortable despite sleeping on futons on tatami matting. The rooms were air conditioned and had western toilets and electricity, but other than that the inn had been left unchanged so a steep climb up a ships ladder style staircase, and narrow 70cm wide passageways to our room meant the property would be unsuitable for mobility impaired, prams or large guests. We LOVED it though - their manager was very helpful and exceedingly polite and we will definitely stay here if we get back to Kyoto.

カップルで旅行 2023年04月07日

Gorgeous Japanese inn next door to a Geisha house in a beautiful street in the best location in Kyoto. Walking distance to the hussle and bustle of Kyoto (just 5 mins away) but super quiet pretty street. The beds were comfy, we loved the room and absolutely loved seeing the geishas pass on the street below as we stood on the little balcony over the street. Lovely shower, nice robes. And the hosts were so friendly and kind and helpful. It’s walking distance to the main shrine, and nishiki market and station and downtown. Easy to get train from there to inari shrine and bamboo grove. We had no idea which area to be in for our stay in Kyoto but couldn’t have been happier with this place.

家族旅行 2023年04月05日

We had such an enjoyable stay here. I really like the area, in terms of convenience, quietness and the vibe/location. I really recommend this property to all who wants to experience Edo period Japan-feels. Look out for real life geikos and maikos walking about at night on the way to their workplaces or appointments, but be sure to practice proper behaviour when meeting them, they are working humans just like everyone else. Various attractions are located within walking distance, Kiyomizu Temple is just 15mins away. The cleanliness and facilities provided at this property are tip-top, and the owners are just lovely and are really nice. They can speak English. I give it a rating of 9/10.

家族旅行 2023年03月09日

除了最前面的房間有光線，整棟超級陰暗的，跟鬼屋有得比，上廁所及洗澡都得結伴，令人超級害怕，廁所洗髮精蓋子打不開，潤髪乳也擠不出來，水壓也很小，check in時要另收稅金外，樓梯又徒又窄非常不安全，尤其是老人家，整體感覺超級不好，超級不愉快的住宿經驗

Property managers are great. Very interesting stay to experience traditional Japanese living.

家族旅行 2020年01月13日

The inn was excellent. If you want to stay somewhere traditionally Japanese, this is a beautiful building. The location is also close to many shops and restaurants as well as sightseeing spots. The entire street it’s on is gorgeous.

The owner is also very sweet and welcoming. She helped us a lot, including lending us umbrellas one day when it rained during our trip.

I strongly recommend staying here during your trip to Kyoto.

The only downside I can think of is that the stairs to get to the rooms might be difficult for anyone who can’t climb stairs.

家族旅行 2020年01月03日

We stayed here for one night on New Years Eve but I wish we stayed a bit longer. It is in such a great location and the property itself is well maintained.
While it was very cold that night, we were given a heater and heavy duvets to keep warm.
The host was lovely and very welcoming.
I would highly recommend staying here - we will definitely be back (for longer next time!) when we visit Kyoto in future.

A lovely time in old Kyoto

Kyoto Sawai is the real guesthouse (ryokan) experience. Futons with incredibly warm blankets, sliding doors and paper screens etc. Room comes with airconditioner/heater, lamp, fridge, microwave, kettle, green tea, tatami mats and low table to eat and drink at.

While the room is traditional and minimalist, the bathroom and shower are completely modern.

The owner was incredibly friendly and attentive. Just in case you have problems with your legs, be aware the stairs are quite steep. We had a lovely time here, in the centre of Gion, and wish we had stayed longer.

great location

The inn was quaint, as we had wanted, total Japanese home style, and adequate, but 2 things stood out that colored the experience.
My reservation said:
Sleep - Memory foam bed, premium bedding, and a down duvet
Bathroom - Deep soaking bathtub

When we arrived, I asked to take a bath later, and the innkeeper said there was none. I said my reservation had it down. As we were talking, her assistant who spoke better english, came in and he got involved in the convo. I showed the reservation info. Long story short, after some back and forth amongst them, we were told a bath was available. Ok? So we were shown where it was in back of the minshuku. Next to a bedroom, sort of like a private set up for those guests only. Why were we told no initially?

The beds were super hard, in that the bedding was not memory foam as advertised. Just a thin futon. Warm comforter, good sheets, no complaints there. When we checked out, hotels.com sent a quick check out questionnaire, where I was able to say the comfort was bad as way too hard. Shortly after, I received a reply from the innkeeper, saying had she known, if I had asked, she could have provided additional bedding for comfort. Ok? That doesn't make sense considering the reservation stated I should already have had that. How was I to know to ask? Why did innkeeper not check with us?

Listing on your site needs to be clarified, as not what is offered.

Innkeeper and assistant were both nice and polite.Great location.

Ryokan traditionnel, hôte peu accueillante

Ryokan traditionnel ou comment entasser 3 fut on et 1 lit dans moins de 20m2, et pas d?espaces pour poser les valises . Dormir sur le tatami, c'est 1 concept, mais attention au dos. Notre hôte à accédé à notre requête :a partir de notre 3ème nuit on nous a installé de bons matelas sous nos futurs. Cote hospitalité, hôte peu accueillante, aucun échange, et on ne nous a jamais offert un thé.

Great location. Beautiful building over 100 years old right in the heart of Gion.
